we are receiving goods all the time from the most
fashionable houses in New York: All I ask is a
the fact that they are cheap. Simply this, in all the
vocations of life it is true moral courage that wins.
1t is pure pluck that always commands success. 1t
is the throtling mental forces of genius with nerve
and backbone that wins battles, builds railroads,
civilizes the world and makes history-mediocrity
never. One is humiliation the other Immortality.

are they who are on the field today. The defeated
say they will get there some other day. This don't
save a continental. In brief is simply food for
leaders who watch as Stuart did in his day of glory

the white and the black. Buy your goods for cash
